A PARTY animal easyJet pilot who flew a packed holiday jet after taking ECSTASY has been banned from taking the controls of another aircraft.

The French 49-year-old admitted struggling to land the plane in a conversation with members of a drugs ring saying: “I had the sweats, I wasn’t feeling well. I was just doing any old thing as we came in for landing.”

The airline added: “The safety of passengers and the crew of EasyJet is our number one priority and we have a zero tolerance approach to drugs and alcohol.

“As a first officer he would always have flown under the command of an experienced easyJet Captain and had any Captain he flew with seen behaviour suggesting drug use or any other safety breaches on this pilot’s flights we would have taken immediate action and stood the first officer down from duty.”
